Why a retiree planning to pay $1 million to live on a luxury cruise ship changed his mind: "Is this going to happen in my lifetime?'

• A 70-year-old buyer has asked Storylines to refund his deposit for a $1 million condo on the MV Narrative.
• The startup has delayed the launch of its residential ship from 2019 to December 2026.
• This uncertainty eventually wore the buyer down: "Is this going to happen in my lifetime?"

At least one buyer who had put down a deposit for a $1 million condo on Storylines' residential cruise ship has changed their mind as the startup continues to delay the launch of its condos-at-sea concept.
